Reviews

Baltimore Sun -
A funny, touching mood piece.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
A tightly packed entertainment. It explodes through familiar teen-transition territory with dark ironies, but, all the while, touches are sentiments.
|
|
Film Threat -
If you have ever experienced the crushing effect of young love, you owe it to yourself to check out this gem of a dark comedy.

ReelViews -
Not everything in The Wackness works and there are times when the divergent serious/comedic tones clash instead of complementing each other. However, in spite of its flaws, the production gets us to care about the characters and their situations.

USA Today -
Both darkly funny and life-affirming, in an offbeat and offhanded way.
